lyrics

Savannah of Havana
Oh, listen to my tale of despair.
I am old and my features are a caved in fright mask
It was a long time ago and as I haunt the cruise cloisters
It’s (all) about Fornication (fucking) and terrible shame.
It was me who was that unctuous promiscuous tart.
I was debauched by couplings both stinking and doomed.
Tanked, glib affairs, dead-end Liaisons
And dipsomaniacal fuck buddies, all in a line
And I’ve never cast off the self-disgust and the guilt.
As I look into the pit of recrimination and hate
And endlessly renewed licentious squalor dictates
I was everyone’s favourite after club mate.
Of morbid mendacity and many acts of predation
At last, I met someone who matched my substation.
It inevitably flattened me after the fact.
She was a purveyor of hot and messy pleasures on tap.
And yet worst she was capable of matching depravity.
Her name was Savannah, but I called her Hannah.
She scared me to death with her palindrome horror.
We soon became buddies and went out on the prowl.
“Oh, Hannah of Havana the consort of kings?
If I thought I was vexatious, she drubbed all my sins.
She piled into a party with needles and pins.
Then she killed me, Oh, countless might have beens.
Skunk Drunk Funk Boy, meets his Savannah
This time it’s personal deep in Havana
Hannah you made me wanna be nice, I love you, I love you, that why I must die.”

Harry Stafford Manchester, UK

Harry Stafford is guitarist and singer of post-punk-blues-Gothic-rockers Inca Babies. The incas were formed in Manchester UK., in the 80s. In 2015 he decided to release some solo material that echoes his love of Blues Piano and barroom ballads. But 30 years with the incas meant it wasn’t going to be as musically simplistic as that. Guitar Shaped Hammers and Gothic Urban Blues are the result. ... more
